Rex Long On The Loose
• Rex Long and Cumulus Media have parted ways after a mutually beneficial 13-year relationship, as Long departs as PD of Top 40 KKMG (98.9 Magic FM)/Colorado Springs, CO after just over two years in the chair. “I had an amazing time and I’m super grateful for the opportunity,” Long (pictured) tells RAMP. “I want to thank Bobby Irwin, Scott Jones and Doug Hamand for the experience and teachings along the way!”
Long started his fulltime radio career with Cumulus in August 2005 doing nights at Top 40 KCDD/Abilene, TX, followed by a two-year stint in nights at Top 40 sister WHHY (Y102)/Montgomery, AL. From June 2009 until June 2010 Long worked in Dallas, doing part-time/swing at KDBN & KLIF-FM, followed by an eight-month stint across the street at KHKS (106.1 Kiss FM). In June 2010, Long embarked on a series of two radio homecomings — first, he returned to KCDD/Abilene, this time as PD, followed a year later by a return to WHHY, where he spent the next six years as PD, until his move to KKMG in June 2017. Now, you’re up to date.
As you read this, Long is headed to Salt Lake City to spend time with family as he begins to look for his next opportunity. He can be contacted at 719-396-4355 or RL45401@gmail.com.
